As a wave travels from one spring to another spring with a different mass, its wavelength decreases by 25%. Which statement describes the change in the speed of the wave? (1 point)

• The speed increases by 25% because speed and wavelength are inversely proportional.
• The speed decreases by 25% because speed and wavelength are directly proportional.
• The speed decreases by 25% because speed and wavelength are inversely proportional.
• The speed increases by 25% because speed and wavelength are directly proportional.

The correct statement is: The speed decreases by 25% because speed and wavelength are inversely proportional.
